Internally fused capacitor units are subjected to the over-voltage across elements and fuses
within the unit as internal fuses blow and remove elements from the parallel group. The over-
voltage on the remaining elements and fuses are considered in addition to the over voltage on
units without the blown fuses. Therefore, the line-to-neutral voltage across the phase that
includes blown fuses is calculated as,

In an internally fused capacitor bank, the unbalance detection indicates the total number of
failed capacitor elements within a capacitor unit.
The trip level should be set so that:
•
The number of operated fuses in the affected capacitor unit does not exceed the
maximum number recommended by the manufacturer.
•
The voltage on the healthy capacitors does not exceed the contingency over-voltage
capability of the capacitor units (usually, 110% of the rated voltage). Note that the
element voltage in the unit with blown fuses may exceed 110% of the normal voltage.
Then, the per unit voltage on the capacitor units in the affected series group with blown fuses
is calculated as,
